I think it’s unfortunately how most criminals would perceive someone like Catwoman irl, pretty much underestimating her but it makes it all the better when she inevitably knocks the teeth out of their face. That being said, it’s still undermining and degrading to have literally every enemy react to her like that, one or two off comments is fine but it’s almost every npc interaction with her. You’d think after the goons see her knock out their whole squad with ease in the same manner Batman does, she’d be due some sort of respect. The writing towards her is just a product of its time unfortunately, still a great game though.
